Enabling and Disabling Public Secure Packet Forwarding

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the encapsulation transformation method:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

interface dot11radio { 0 }

Enter interface configuration mode for the 2.4-GHz radio

 

 

interface.

Step 3

 

 

infrastructure-client

Enable reliable multicast messages to workgroup bridges.

Step 4

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

Use the no form of the command to disable reliable multicast messages to workgroup bridges.

Enabling and Disabling Public Secure Packet Forwarding

Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF) prevents client devices associated to an access point from inadvertently sharing files or communicating with other client devices associated to the access point. It provides Internet access to client devices without providing other capabilities of a LAN. This feature is useful for public wireless networks like those installed in airports or on college campuses.

Note To prevent communication between clients associated to different access points, you must set up protected ports on the switch to which the wireless devices are connected. See the “Configuring Protected Ports” section on page 2-26for instructions on setting up protected ports.

To enable and disable PSPF using CLI commands on the wireless device, you use bridge groups. You can find a detailed explanation of bridge groups and instructions for implementing them in this document:

You can also enable and disable PSPF using the web-browser interface. The PSPF setting is on the Radio Settings pages.

PSPF is disabled by default. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable PSPF:

 

 

Command

Purpose

 

Step 1

 

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

 

Step 2

 

 

 

interface dot11radio { 0 1 }

Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface. The

 

 

 

2.4-GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1.

 

Step 3

 

 

 

bridge-group group port-protected

Enable PSPF.

 

Step 4

 

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

 

Step 5

 

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
